May has been a busy month at the Capitol! With the Governor
releasing his revised 2023-24 budget proposal and looming
legislative deadlines, there’s been a lot of activity surrounding
notable bills and initiatives.
With support from CHCF and in partnership with Health Management
Associates, LHPC published an issue brief highlighting local
health plan successes, and summarizing challenges and
opportunities during year one of CalAIM implementation.
The brief, Implementing CalAIM: The Local Health Plan
Perspective, will be featured in the CHCF Weekly digest, as
well as in CalAIM in Focus, CHCF’s monthly digest dedicated
to information and resources for CalAIM.
As we move into the busy season of this legislative session, the
Legislature has shown considerable interest in better
understanding and tracking the implementation of Medi-Cal’s
transformative initiative, CalAIM. The LHPC team has already
testified at several hearings and had productive meetings with
lawmakers and staff to share local plans’ efforts, commitment,
and progress in bringing CalAIM to life.
With support from CHCF, LHPC published the first of two issue
briefs focused on CalAIM implementation, “Local Plan Strategies
for CalAIM Incentive Payment Program.” The brief will be featured
in CalAIM in Focus, CHCF’s monthly digest dedicated to
information and resources for CalAIM!
Happy Spring! As we navigate through this transformative era in
Medi-Cal, I am pleased to share with you the ongoing work our
local plans are doing to serve their communities.
Only two months into 2023 and LHPC has already hit the ground
running with the new two-year legislative session!
Over the course of this session, we look forward to getting to
know the new legislative members and their staff, and sharing the
critical role we play in meeting the health and social needs of
over 9.3 million Medi-Cal beneficiaries who receive their care
through a local plan.
